This is actually what you want to do in practice, because population isn’t raising enough vs the block size. This makes it unnecessary to protect your blockbet range with strong hands, in fact the strong hands themselves will be higher ev as a big bet since they’re not getting raised much when you bet small.
People think that having 2 sizes is only important when you’re playing nosebleeds, when in fact it’s the opposite: 2 sizing strats are an exploitative tool more than anything else. Against tougher opposition they lose their value because good players know they have to raise more vs the small size, in order to prevent you from betting according to the strength of your hand.
Clickr for example is playing against the best players in the world, and only uses 1 size on flop and turn.
